The exam paper on “Royal Authority and the Angevin Kings, 1154–1216“ examines key events and figures of the Angevin dynasty. Section A evaluates sources related to the origins of the Great Rebellion, particularly the tensions between King Henry II and his son, Young Henry. Section B includes questions on the conflict between King Henry II and Thomas Becket (1162-1170), the loss of Normandy in 1204 due to Richard’s legacy, and King John′s dispute with the Papacy. The paper requires an analysis of royal authority, family dynamics, and the political challenges faced by the Angevin kings.
